Response throwing error: Server Did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction

I am trying to test a soap url. But I am getting the error response as mentioned in the question everytime I send the soap request. My code is as shown:
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
SOAPConnectionFactory sfc = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = sfc.createConnection();
MessageFactory mf = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage sm = mf.createMessage();
SOAPPart soapPart = sm.getSOAPPart();
// SOAP Envelope
SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("xsd", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
SOAPHeader sh = sm.getSOAPHeader();
SOAPBody sb = sm.getSOAPBody();
sh.detachNode();
QName postageLabelXML = new QName("www.envmgr.com/LabelService", "GetPostageLabelXML");
SOAPBodyElement bodyElement = sb.addBodyElement(postageLabelXML);
QName qn = new QName("LabelRequestXML");
SOAPElement quotation = bodyElement.addChildElement(qn);
QName qnLabelRequest = new QName("LabelRequest");
SOAPElement qnLabelRequestQuotation = quotation.addChildElement(qnLabelRequest);
MimeHeaders mimeHeaders = sm.getMimeHeaders();
mimeHeaders.addHeader("Host", "https://elstestserver.endicia.com");
mimeHeaders.addHeader("Content-Length", "65536");
mimeHeaders.addHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
mimeHeaders.addHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.envmgr.com/LabelService/GetPostageLabelXML");
System.out.println("\n Soap Request:\n");
sm.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println();
URL endpoint = new URL("https://elstestserver.endicia.com/LabelService/EwsLabelService.asmx");
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(sm, endpoint);
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
response.writeTo(out);
String strMsg = new String(out.toByteArray());
System.out.println(response.getContentDescription());
System.out.println("xml -= " + strMsg);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
The above code produces the following xml as request :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<GetPostageLabelXML xmlns="www.envmgr.com/LabelService">
<LabelRequestXML>
<LabelRequest />
</LabelRequestXML>
</GetPostageLabelXML>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The required xml is :
POST /LabelService/EwsLabelService.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: elstestserver.endicia.com
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "www.envmgr.com/LabelService/GetPostageLabelXML"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetPostageLabelXML xmlns="www.envmgr.com/LabelService">
<LabelRequestXML>
<LabelRequest>...some xml </LabelRequest>
</LabelRequestXML>
</GetPostageLabelXML>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
After spending around 2 hours now in this issue I am not able to guess the real issue behind this error response :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
<faultstring>Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .</faultstring>
<detail />
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Please let me know if any error is noticed in this code.

I was adding an additional 'http://' in my
mimeHeaders.addHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.envmgr.com/LabelService/GetPostageLabelXML");
It worked fine when I removed the http:// suffix. So the changed line was
mimeHeaders.addHeader("SOAPAction", "www.envmgr.com/LabelService/GetPostageLabelXML");

Apache-CXF JAX-WS client error : Message part not recognized

I wrote a webservice using Apache-CXF. It works fine when tested with SoapUI. I wrote a Java client to call the webservice, and it fails with the following error:
org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Message part customer was not recognized. (Does it exist in service WSDL?)
The client program reads data from a xml file and adds it as a Document to the SOAPBody.
Here is the input data in SoapUI:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:app="ApplyLoanRequest">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<app:customer>
<contact>
<!--1 to 2 repetitions:-->
<name part="first">J</name>
<name part="last">H</name>
<country>US</country>
</contact>
</app:customer>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Here is the SOAP generated by my client available on the console from the writeTo System.out
Starting BankLoan Client ...
Service request ...
====================================
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:app="ApplyLoanRequest"><SOAP-ENV:Header/><SOAP-ENV:Body><customer>
<contact>
<!--1 to 2 repetitions:-->
<name part="first">J</name>
<name part="last">H</name>
<country>IN</country>
</contact>
</customer></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Service response ...
====================================
soap:Fault
faultcode = soap:Client
The difference is that in SoapUI, the root element is sent with namespace, as app:customer whereas in my client program there is no prefix. Is this causing the error? How do I prefix the root element with app: ?
Here is the Java client program:
public class BankLoanClient
{
public Document convertXMLFileToDocument(String pathToFile) throws Exception
{
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(pathToFile);
return doc;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
System.out.println("Starting BankLoan Client ... ");
SOAPMessage message = MessageFactory.newInstance().createMessage();
SOAPBody body = message.getSOAPBody();
SOAPPart part = message.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = part.getEnvelope();
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("app", "ApplyLoanRequest");
body.addDocument(new BankLoanClient().convertXMLFileToDocument(args[0]));
System.out.println("Service request ... ");
System.out.println("====================================");
message.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println();
URL endpoint = new URL("http://localhost:8080/bankloan/services/applyloan");
SOAPConnectionFactory factory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = factory.createConnection();
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(message, endpoint);
connection.close();
// Process the response message
SOAPBody respBody = response.getSOAPBody();
Iterator it = respBody.getChildElements();
SOAPBodyElement element = (SOAPBodyElement) it.next();
System.out.println("Service response ... ");
System.out.println("====================================");
System.out.println(element.getNodeName());
it = element.getChildElements();
SOAPElement ret = (SOAPElement) it.next();
System.out.println(ret.getNodeName() + " = " + ret.getTextContent());
}
}
Even if I change the URL to point at the wsdl, I get the same error.
URL endpoint = new URL("http://localhost:8080/bankloan/services/applyloan?wsdl");

Java - Error Non-default namespace can not map to empty URI in XML 1.0 documents

I try to invoke a webservice in Java. Mainly I followed this link and also I solved several problems with google and other questions of stackoverflow. However, I get an error that I can not solve:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: Non-default namespace can not map to empty URI (as per Namespace 1.0 # 2) in XML 1.0 documents
I think that the problem is in the xml that I created but I see well.
SOAPUI request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:acc="http://url/acceso">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<acc:petitionSession>
<acc:codUser/>
<acc:pass>?</acc:pass>
<acc:codOp>?</acc:codOp>
</acc:petitionSession>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Request I generated:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:acc="http://url/acceso">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<acc:petitionSession>
<acc:codUser/>
<acc:pass>user1</acc:pass>
<acc:codOp>Temp1</acc:codOp>
</acc:petitionSession>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Code:
Dispatch dispatcher = getDispatcher(wsdlLocation, namespace, serviceName, portName);
dispatcher.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.SOAPACTION_USE_PROPERTY, Boolean.TRUE);
dispatcher.getRequestContext().put(BindingProvider.SOAPACTION_URI_PROPERTY, soapActionUri);

public static SOAPMessage construirMensaje() throws SOAPException, IOException{

SOAPMessage soapMsg = factory.createMessage();
SOAPPart part = soapMsg.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = part.getEnvelope();
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("acc", "http://url/acceso");
SOAPHeader header = envelope.getHeader();
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
SOAPBodyElement element = body.addBodyElement(envelope.createName("petitionSession",
"acc", null));
element.addChildElement(body.addBodyElement(envelope.createName("codUser",

SOAPBodyElement pass = body.addBodyElement(envelope.createName("pass",

pass.addTextNode("user1");
element.addChildElement(pass);
SOAPBodyElement codOp = body.addBodyElement(envelope.createName("codOp",

codOp.addTextNode("Temp1");
element.addChildElement(codOp);
soapMsg.writeTo(System.out);
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream("SoapMessage.xml");
soapMsg.writeTo(fOut);
System.out.println();
return soapMsg;
}
Any idea?
Regards.

I find the problem that was in the header that it wasn`t built well. It needed to add:
MimeHeaders headers = soapMessage.getMimeHeaders();
headers.addHeader("SOAPAction", serverURI + "name");

Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction:

I'm trying to call a SOAP webservice using SAAJ for this WSDL. I submitted the request for this WSDL here http://www.webservicex.net/ws/WSDetails.aspx?WSID=64and it generated the following SOAP requests..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetGeoIP xmlns="http://www.webservicex.net/">
<IPAddress>string</IPAddress>
</GetGeoIP>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Using SAAJ I generated the same SOAP requests and submitted it but get this error - Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<GetGeoIP xmlns="http://www.webservicex.net/">
<IPAddress>SUNW</IPAddress>
</GetGeoIP>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Java Code:
package newpackage;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.soap.*;
public class SOAPClientSAAJ {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
// Create SOAP Connection
SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnectionFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection soapConnection = soapConnectionFactory.createConnection();
// Send SOAP Message to SOAP Server
String url = "http://www.webservicex.net/geoipservice.asmx";
SOAPMessage soapResponse = soapConnection.call(createSOAPRequest(), url);
// print SOAP Response
System.out.print("Response SOAP Message:");
soapResponse.writeTo(System.out);
soapConnection.close();
}
private static SOAPMessage createSOAPRequest() throws Exception {
MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage soapMessage = messageFactory.createMessage();
SOAPPart soapPart = soapMessage.getSOAPPart();
String serverURI = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
// SOAP Envelope
SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("xsd", serverURI);
SOAPBody body = soapMessage.getSOAPBody();
QName bodyName = new QName("http://www.webservicex.net/", "GetGeoIP" );
SOAPBodyElement bodyElement = body.addBodyElement(bodyName);
QName name = new QName("IPAddress");
SOAPElement symbol = bodyElement.addChildElement(name);
symbol.addTextNode("SUNW");
soapMessage.saveChanges();
/* Print the request message */
System.out.print("Request SOAP Message:");
soapMessage.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println();
return soapMessage;
}
}

Add
MimeHeaders headers = soapMessage.getMimeHeaders();
headers.addHeader("SOAPAction", "http://www.webservicex.net/" + "GetGeoIP");

If you are using Marshelling and Unmarsheling, Just implement WebseviceMessageCallback interface like:
public class SOAPConnector extends WebServiceGatewaySupport
{
public Object callWebService( String url, Object request )
{
return getWebServiceTemplate().marshalSendAndReceive( url, request,
webServiceMessage -> {
(( SoapMessage )webServiceMessage).setSoapAction(
"https://www.w3schools.com/xml/CelsiusToFahrenheit" );
} );
}
}

Access Java Web Service and get response

I am doing a project which has to access to a given web service and send data to requested parameters and get the response from service. Currently I do something which I found from a forum and it parse the data to service, but unable to get the response since its giving an error.
My sample code is below.
package webserviceexample;
import javax.xml.soap.*;

SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnectionFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection soapConnection = soapConnectionFactory.createConnection();
String url = "https://vlmt.XXX.lk:0111/VendorRecharge/services/RechargeVendorService/wsdl/";
SOAPMessage soapResponse = soapConnection.call(createSOAPRequest(), url);
printSOAPResponse(soapResponse);
//soapConnection.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error occurred while sending SOAP Request to Server");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static SOAPMessage createSOAPRequest() throws Exception {
MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage soapMessage = messageFactory.createMessage();
SOAPPart soapPart = soapMessage.getSOAPPart();
String serverURI = "http://vendor.XXX.ZZZ.com/";
SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("wsdl", serverURI);
SOAPBody soapBody1 = envelope.getBody();
SOAPElement soapBodyElemX = soapBody1.addChildElement("performRecharge", "wsdl");
SOAPElement soapBodyElem1 = soapBodyElemX.addChildElement("storeId", "wsdl");
soapBodyElem1.addTextNode("LA19BNPX");
SOAPElement soapBodyElem2 = soapBodyElemX.addChildElement("password", "wsdl");
soapBodyElem2.addTextNode("thilanka#456A");
SOAPElement soapBodyElem3 = soapBodyElemX.addChildElement("mobileNo", "wsdl");
soapBodyElem3.addTextNode("751238456");
SOAPElement soapBodyElem4 = soapBodyElemX.addChildElement("Amount", "wsdl");
soapBodyElem4.addTextNode("12");
SOAPElement soapBodyElem5 = soapBodyElemX.addChildElement("vendorTransactionId", "wsdl");
soapBodyElem5.addTextNode("15");
MimeHeaders headers = soapMessage.getMimeHeaders();
headers.addHeader("performRecharge", serverURI + "performRecharge");
System.out.println("");
soapMessage.saveChanges();
System.out.print("Request SOAP Message = ");
soapMessage.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println();
return soapMessage;
}
private static void printSOAPResponse(SOAPMessage soapResponse) throws Exception {
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
Source sourceContent = soapResponse.getSOAPPart().getContent();
System.out.print("\nResponse SOAP Message = ");
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
transformer.transform(sourceContent, result);
}
}
The error I am getting is:

Thank you.
WSDL FILE

Make sure that this is the correct service URL.
Seems like you specified the wsdl location and not registered service url. Set the request url specified in the wsdl file for the service.
String url = "https://vlmt.XXX.lk:0111/VendorRecharge/services/RechargeVendorService/wsdl/";
See the location tag in your wsdl
<service name="Hello_Service">
<documentation>WSDL File for HelloService</documentation>
<port binding="tns:Hello_Binding" name="Hello_Port">
<soap:address
location="**http://www.examples.com/SayHello/**">
</port>
</service>
